Shopify upgrades fulfillment capabilities

Shopify is a well-known ecommerce software platform. Earlier this month, the company announced that its GMV increased 42 percent in Europe, in the second quarter of this year. Overall, its revenue increased 31 percent.

More tools within the platform

Earlier this year, Shopify already partnered with DHL in Germany. Because of that, merchants in the country got direct access to shipping services from the carrier, within Shopify’s platform. Now, Shopify has added more partners to the platform for sellers everywhere.

Users that ship through Shopify’s platform can now get exclusive rates from carriers like DHL, UPS, FedEx, Royal Mail and more. The company has also added time-saving tools, like filtering orders by status or other criteria. Customs documentation, and collecting duties and taxes can now also be done within Shopify’s platform.

‘Fulfillment often means juggling multiple systems’

“Repeat customers  are won and lost during fulfillment. Yet for many merchants, fulfillment means juggling multiple systems – third-party apps, carrier websites, inventory tools – that fragment their workflow and eat up hours”, the platform said in a press release.

“Shipping used to be a necessary evil that pulled focus from running your business,” says Vibhor Chhabra, Director of Product at Shopify. “Now you get a unified system that streamlines fulfillment workflows, so you can deliver fast and earn customer loyalty at any stage of growth.”
